"Right folks, here's the fast food facts.
Meat - most reliable grind is Woodland Path, steadiest training venue is Harpy's Roost
Plants - most reliable grind is Bamboo Falls, steadiest training venue is the Mire
Seafood - most reliable grinds are Redrock Cove & the Arena, steadiest training venue is the Forbidden Portal if you survive.
And Insects suck least in the Boreal Woods."
"Moon, that is no way to talk to people. They need some idea of what we're trying to do here and where we came up with this stuff."
"Well, Day, all the people I was talking to have already headed to the Coli with the basic information, so you go right ahead and fill in the rest of these folks."
"I'm trying to! Hey, there, we like to think of ourselves as the warrior elite of our clan, but the fact is a lot of what we do is straight up grinding for groceries. And since the fae of our clan outnumber the rest of us dergs about ten to one, we better know where we can go and count on bringing home the bugs. And by count on, I mean where they are Common with a capital C."
"You gonna talk about the Great Delicate Bat Wing Fiasco?"
"No, Moon, I am not going to talk about the Great Delicate Batwing Fiasco. We do not discuss the Great Delicate Batwing Fiasco. All of you just take it from me-- where the Coli is concerned, you can count on Common, and it’s best to consider anything else icing on the cake."
"We don’t eat cake. It’d have to be meat cake."
"She thinks she’s funny. Anyway, what we’re talking about here is Fast Food Farming-- not all that longterm big picture overall detail stuff Maki’s sooooo good at-- just the down and dirty best bets for where to go grab a quick snack when you’ve got fussy eaters back home and fifteen minutes to try and do something about it. Take it, Moon!"
"So, like I already said, if you’re hoping to get a haul of meat in a short amount of time, the Woodland Path is the place to go. When the vegetarians are getting hangry, head straight for the Bamboo Falls. Seafood? Arena, or if that’s a little heavy for you, Redrock Cove. And my gal Day here is going to break you the bad news about the bugs."
"Truth hurts-- there is no great place to go if you just need lots of bugs fast. You can slug it out in the Boreal Wood, but mostly we hang out at the Forbidden Cave, where the Common fare is slightly heavy on the insect platters and we can burn through the battles fast enough to have good odds of shaking down a boss bear for the high-value bugs. It’s the same story if you need a Working Lunch-- when you are looking to level up and stock up at the same time. That’s Harpy’s Roost for meat-lovers, the Mire for leafy greens, Forbidden Portal if you can hack it for the fishy fare, but nowhere you can really count on bugs."
"I know what we’re asking for next Riot of Rot-- a middle-level Plague venue crawling with disease-carrying fleas, flies, ticks, skeeters, kissing bugs, and lots and lots of maggots! The healer’s little helpers, eating away all that putrefying flesh before sepsis sets in."
"Oh, please. What next, Murder Hornets?"
FAST FOOD FARMING
Each type of food got a score from the number of Common drops of that food type in that venue, multiplied by the value of those drops. By comparing each of these to the median score, it becomes clear which types of food stand out in that venue. As an example, the Woodland Path has a Median Food Score of 10.75. At a score of 19, Common Meat is way above the Woodland Path average. At a score of 2, Common Seafood is way below the Woodland Path average. Because the next highest score comes in more than five below meat, the GaolGrrls rate the Woodland Path as a Carnivore’s Carnival.
